What watch do you wear?

Lustral · 13 May 2017 at 16:07

Prolly a lot cheaper than the metal shown on here , but i gonna wear this as my daily to replace my Apple Watch

Biggest watch i have owned and also it is pretty heavy on my skinny wrist

I find myself fancying an Ediface a few times a month, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Partly because I can't stop buying other watches. Latest acquisition - Seiko SARB035. JDM hotness.

All my other pieces have dark dials, so I went for the SARB035 over the more usual SARB033. I think I made the right choice.

Nice Seiko. I've just decided upon a SKA721P1 Kinetic for my upcoming birthday. I've been after an automatic Seiko, but couldn't find one that quite ticked all the boxes.
This one really does - but it's quartz

Ol!ver · 13 May 2017 at 22:35

It's not normal quartz though - I'm sure the watch snobs would let it off!

I've got a 15 year old Auto Relay sat in my watch box. Still works just fine after a bit of a shake.

Yeah, I don't mind... my Citizen Eco-drive has been rock-solid for over 5 years, not had to touch it. So I was torn between a Seiko and another Citizen, but this has the numerals dead right IMO (and all of them present!), and the date complication is tiny and unobtrusive, keeping the face very clean. It reminds me of a station clock on an old railway platform

It's got a bit of the Flieger about it. I'm falling for it, so thanks for that. A week without buying a watch would have been awesome.

I unfortunately just wear a Garmin Fenix 3. Not a nice fancy fashion watch.

Does the job though.

Back on the PCL bracelet for a bit.

I wouldn't call a 42mm watch massive, it's just the right side for all events. Probably the most popular size of all.

I would say 42-44 is standard these days

Depends on the size of your wrist?

I had a 42mm watch and have small wrists. I think my next one will be 38mm.

my 3 are 45.5, 46.3 and 47

I suppose if you ever get mugged you can just swing the watch, should do the trick

Skidder · 15 May 2017 at 11:57

Depends what type of watch too I reckon. For me sweet spot is 38-42mm but I do have larger and smaller. I feel the huge watch thing has come full circle and pressure is downwards towards high 30s low 40s.

Lustral · 15 May 2017 at 13:00

My Edifice is 48.1mm , its a beast on my wrist lol , the 42mm Apple watch is tiny compared to it.

I genuinely think I might need to see someone about my watch problem. Bought the SARB035 before the weekend, nearly bought a Cocktail Time yesterday. Now I've outgrown my 6-watch box I'm looking at what to replace it with. Seriously considering a 20-watch option!

Oh, and a winder. Or a winder with space for more watches underneath. And one with two winders in it.

Seems entirely reasonable to me :confused:

Have you seen Dr Strange? You need his watch drawer.
